Default Only getting one speed on wipers?

When I got the car it came with an arm that kept on falling out and the tip was broken, but I had 2 speeds with it. The arm disappeared.
I bought a new arm and I only get one speed now.
Any help here on this?

Thanks
Jack

a little more information concerning this "arm" might help, what does it look like and where did you install it?

I don't think wiper speed has any direct connection with wiper arms. Check the connections on the wiper switch. For 77, aren't the wipers on a stalk on the steering column?

Was the old "arm" with a broken tip you reference the actual stalk on the column?

I wish that I didn't have an eye problem as it almost looks like there is a foreign object in hole.
My broke bar had one set of ears, the one now has 2.

Broken arm, bad eyes, and one ear...sounds like you need a doctor not an electrician.

I cannot make any sense of this post other than the single speed issue with wipers.
